Proudly posited as “the easiest dovetail machine in the world”, the iDovetail is a new machine that is designed to reduce staff training time and the correction time when changing a workpiece. The remarkable thing about it is that anyone can operate this machine, with similar ease as using a mobile phone or printer.
Here we explore some of the machine’s key features ...
Overview
The settings for making a dovetail profile are usually very tricky. You have different shapes, but also different wood thicknesses and widths. All these variants make it very difficult to set up a normal dovetailing machine. This is often done by a professional who has been used to adjusting the machine for years, but even then, it is very difficult when you need a change of model, or other wood type and thickness.
A furniture maker knows that this is very difficult and spends a lot of time calculating. They have to make readjustments every time, for example, the width of the wood or the model of the dovetail changes.
With the iDovetail that is all a thing of the past. You can easily enter your wood dimensions and the desired dovetail on the screen, and you can see in real-time what is happening and what it looks like in your wood choice.
This makes it extremely easy for the operator to set up the machine. In fact, the machine itself does it all automatically; you don’t have to make complicated settings or have long-term knowledge.
An easy-to-use interface
iDovetail designs the processing dimensions of each type of joint into a real-time model so that you can directly see your finished product in the process of your input. The model changes when you enter any size.
This technology gives you a very clean operating space, so you can complete all the design on the same screen. Using a real-time model like this means you can master your finished product 100% in the design stage.
Multiple functions
The iDovetail supports six commonly used joint types, each of which can be freely modified. With a 45° flip structure, you can easily cut mitre joints.
Touch
The unobstructed 3D interface is operated using the gestures you are familiar with from your smartphone: Tap/Double Tap/Swipe/Pinch/Zoom.
Minimalist design
In addition to the emergency stop button, the entire machine has only three physical buttons. iDovetail has complete operational tips during your operation, and the design is so intuitive that it can be learned very quickly.
Further information
Based in the Netherlands, Rehomy is the European importer of this unique machine from Taiwan. The first iDovetail is already in operation in the UK and potential customers are very welcome to see this machine working live.
